This story is just a fake hit piece against "Uncle" Clarence Thomas.

They hate him because he's a paragon of an individual who is also black.

Looks like Clarence "Uncle" Thomas has been accepting luxury trips off the books from a republican mega donor and may have broken the law he pretends to respect.

Can't wait for his resignation followed by Biden nominating someone and no vote happening.

Should supreme court judges be allowed to accept luxury trips from registered political donors (GOP or DNC) without disclosing it? or even if they do disclose it?

No, they shouldn't.

It doesn't matter because the story is false

Any source for it being true, or just trusting the publishers?

In a statement, Crow acknowledged that he has extended “hospitality” to the Thomases “over the years” but said the couple “never asked for any of this hospitality” and that he has not tried to influence the justice on matters before the court.

“We have never asked about a pending or lower court case, and Justice Thomas has never discussed one, and we have never sought to influence Justice Thomas on any legal or political issue,” Crow said. “More generally, I am unaware of any of our friends ever lobbying or seeking to influence Justice Thomas on any case, and I would never invite anyone who I believe had any intention of doing that. These are gatherings of friends.”
